Photos showing the lamps of ’Billiedskolen i Tvillinghallen Wednesday 5 o’clock class’. and Fantasy Design conferance. 2011
After the commissioned Diamond Lamp for ‘Billiedskolen’ and the ‘Wednesday 5 o’clock Class’ making their own lamps, their work caught the attention of ’Fantasy Design in community’ resulting in an invite to talk at the Fantasy Design Conference on design Education – ‘Involving Children and young people in designing the future’. Held in an old monastery in Gent, Belgium. I was asked to talk about the theme ’Design for all’ so I spoke about my desirers to be Robyn Hood.
Landscape – Diamond shade
Diamond Shade – Handmade by Jeremy Walton, 2010. Using the E-craftbook JW006
Dimension 80cm x 60cm x 60cm. Various selected paper, salvaged books and some Folk Art magic.
‘Billedskolen i Tvillingehallen’ commissioned the making of a Diamond Shade for their meeting room. I based the lamp on traditional landscape painting, (rectangle landscape, green at the bottom, moody sky at the top). Besides coloured paper I used old books about planes, so parts of planes now fly through the sky. In referance to the history of Tvillingehallen, the building was once a slaughterhouse, I found an appropriate book and used it to make the sky a little overcast and to dot the landscape with cattle.

Iceberg – diamond shade
Handmade Diamond shade by Jeremy Walton, 2009. E-craftbook jw 006
Dimension 55 cm x 55 cm x 70 cm. Various selected paper and milk cartons.

My subject for this shade is an Iceberg. I done some in-depth study of icebergs (couple of photos on google images) The diamond shade lends itself to the form of the iceberg and I collected papers that are white, pure white and super white for above the water line. For below the water line and deeper inside the iceberg, I collected blue paper, milk cartons and the monthly Map magazine by architect David Garcia. (more…)

Cannon Smoke
Installation by Jeremy Walton June 2009. Roskilde Festival
Using, the Soon to be available JW oo6 Diamond Shade e-craftbook, I set about creating Cannon Smoke as part of the Silent Circus project in SoupaNatural’s circus tent in the Climate Community field of the Roskilde Festival.
Going along with the Circus theme, I studied in detail (a couple of online photos) Cannon Smoke from human cannon ball acts. I attempted to recreate this using the lampshade diamonds made of craft paper, waste paper and good old milk cartons.
Virgin Trapeze Shades
Lampshades handmade by Jeremy Walton June 2009. Roskilde Festival
The lampshades are made of folded panels joined together with virgin clips. A single metal ring sets the shade into its circular form.
Unlike my standard Panel Shades these ‘Virgin Trapese Shades’ use salvaged lampshade frames for the metal ring and the rest of the old lampshade frame remains hanging down within the new lampshade.
Candlestick Maker
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2004. Reworked urbane drift wood.
Inspiration is taken from found objects. Not only the objects but also the process used to make the components of the furnishings around our homes. These observations are reworked to create something new that can be repeatedly reproduced.
A development coming out of the The Fake Dane process.
The Fake Dane Collection
A Design process by Jeremy Walton 2004
A slowly expanding collection of objects made using a designed process, where locally found furniture parts (urban drift wood) get used to determine variable end results.
Each item is individually numbered. The collection is on going and the initial collection of 01 to 60 will be presented at MM gallery Copenhagen in 2005. Selected items are part of the Lauritz Passion day Aution 2005.
Objects of Desire
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2004.
Shrink plastic has been used to wrap a Jaguar E-type, the plastic has been peeled from the car like a facial mask. The plastic is made up of several layers melted together, creating a laminate that holds the form of the car. The form is obscured by negative space and distortion, similar to a dream the form comes and goes.
